This is the third victory in a row for Sony’s “Hotel Transylvania” franchise, which follows the family life and small-business endeavors of Count Dracula, voiced by Adam Sandler. Each of the three films has cleared $40 million on its opening weekend and broken $100 million total. While the first two succeeded in the Halloween seasons of 2012 and 2015, this one was marketed as a summer film, with the count and his family boarding a cruise ship; the film was released in the only month in which all schools across the country are on summer vacation. Children and their parents made up 60 percent of the audience, according to exit surveys.

While audiences aren’t yet sick of the count, they do seem to be tiring of Mr. Johnson, whose action vehicle “Skyscraper” arrived in third place with $25.5 million, according to comScore, which compiles box office data. That’s a big drop-off compared to other recent films in which he saves the world, including “San Andreas” ($54.6 million in 2015) and this year’s “Rampage” ($35.7 million). With that film, “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” and a new season of “Ballers” all released in the last year, it’s possible we’ve reached the point of Rock oversaturation.

But while the domestic numbers are discouraging so far, Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures will be banking on big returns from China, where Mr. Johnson is a megastar. “Skyscraper” is even set in China, so it’s possible that by the time the film opens there next week, the weak domestic returns will be beside the point. The film’s production budget was about $125 million.

“Ant-Man and the Wasp” made $28.8 million, good for second place, in its second week. The Disney-Marvel film has now earned $283.7 million worldwide. “Incredibles 2,” the Disney-Pixar smash, made an additional $16.2 million in its fifth week and has amassed $857 million total globally.

The critical darling “Sorry to Bother You” expanded into 805 theaters and made a tidy $4.3 million. The film will continue to gain theaters and is expected to do well by word of mouth: it has a 95 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
